A&M is the 10th- ranked team in the nation and believes on any given night it can beat a Nebraska or a Texas. The Lady Aggies learned what it takes to win big matches when they A&M rarely upset Of course, A&M knows the pen dulum can swing the other way. Lower-ranked teams, and even unranked teams, are taking their best punches when they face the Lady Aggies. A&M has been pre pared throughout the season for pesky upstarts and has not al lowed them to pull off any upsets. Corbelli said she is enjoying this season because of the Big 12 competition and — more impor tantly — her players. “I’m really happy with their state of mind,” Corbelli said. “They are coachable, they re- Lxterminating the bug One factor that hurt the team’s performance against Nebraska was the absence of a healthy Kristie Smedsrud.

The New York Yankees turned it into one of the biggest comebacks in World Series history. Pinch-hitter Wade Boggs drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the 10th inning following a questionable intentional walk, and the Yankees beat Atlanta 8-6 Wednesday night to even the Se ries at two games each. A three-run homer by Jim Leyritz in the eighth inning tied the game as the Yankees rallied from a 6-0 deficit. Two innings later, they matched the second- biggest comeback in Series play with a win that made them 7-0 on the road in this postseason. With two outs in the 10th, Tim Raines drew a walk from loser Steve Avery and moved to second on a single by Derek Jeter. Wlien Braves manager Bobby Cox went to the mound and elected to in tentionally walk Bernie Williams, the MVP of the Al. championship series and a hero in the Yankees’ victory the previous night, rookie Andy Fox was on deck, hut Cox clearly knew that Boggs was still left on the bench. Boggs, a future Hall of Famer with already 2,697 career hits, had not started two games because of a back injury and .171 average in the postseason. Avery, now with no margin for error, got ahead of Boggs 1 -2; hut Boggs, with one of the best eyes in the game, then took three straight balls for a walk that put New York ahead.
